[campcaster-dev] using the shout2send gstreamer plugin for master output

    If libshout is installed (libshout3-dev on Debian) the configure script for gstreamer will compile a plugin that will send a stream to an Icecast2 server. I got this plugin compiled.

    $ sudo gst-inspect shout2send
    Factory Details:
    Long name: An Icecast plugin
    Class: Sink/Network
    Description: Sends data to an icecast server
    Author(s): Wim Taymans
    Pedro Corte-Real
    Zaheer Abbas Merali
    Rank: none (0)

    Plugin Details:
    Name: shout2send
    Description: Sends data to an icecast server using libshout2
    Filename: /usr/local/lib/gstreamer-0.8/libgstshout2.so
    Version: 0.8.12
    License: LGPL
    Package: libshout2
    Origin URL: http://www.icecast.org/download.html


    How does the gstreamer pipeline get generated? I'll run some command line tests with this plugin. If I can stream to Icecast is it as simple as changing some directives in the block in scheduler.xml to get playlists to do the same?

    BTW, I see this as a quick work around for ticket #732
    http://code.campware.org/projects/campcaster/ticket/732
    Though JACK output via gstreamer would be the best for a number of reasons.

    Well then, that makes things a lot more complicated. It sounds like a JACK driver or dual computer DAC->ADC setup is actually simpler and more flexible. I'll look into somethink like that.
